The Maid of the Mist was a truly memorable experience! If you want to stay dry, stay downstairs and go to the back. There are also a few seats, which my companion with limited mobility really appreciated.
Over the two days, there was plenty of time to walk both sides of the falls (American and Canadian) and view them from various angles.
The best view was from our hotel room, 2714 at Embassy Suites. Who needs a helicopter ride?!? I was able to watch the light show from the comfort of my bed.
The hotel provided differs; we just got lucky. Embassy Suites also provide a full breakfast.
The bus was clean and comfortable, our guide (Nick) knowledgable and entertaining. His ability to switch between fluent English/italian/Spanish was impressive.
The only drawback was the stop at the factory stores. What a waste of time. The choice of restaurants was poor; Big Greek Grill the best of them. No place pleasant to sit if you didn’t want to shop. I would much rather have returned to NYC two hours earlier.

Trip was good! All
Was very well planned with regular stops towards Niagara Falls.
We caught a very nice clear full rainbow falls!
Not really rush, with sufficient stop and rest.
2D1N was just nice!!

Was incredibly disappointed with this tour. We travelled unbeknown to all on the tour in a TRAVEL BAN! Two hours in emergency warnings were broadcast all over the news and our tour guides had no idea. We didn’t complete the second day of the tour due to being snowed in but spent almost 5 hours in a hotel lobby. We then proceeded to drive 6 hours back to NYC during snow storms with cars stuck in snow on the side of the road. At no time were we given any reassurance of safety when at times the lack of visability was severe. We were not offered any form of refund rather the tour guide had the cheek to ask for tips and promoted all their other tours. We did tip the driver as we were incredibly grateful to get back safely. The Management of this tour lacked clear direction in an emergency situation we should never have been in. The tour should have been cancelled. The Border Officer in Canada asked the question ‘Do you not check the weather before you leave?’. Something I would have expected is standard safety protocol. At no time did we receive an apology from the Tour Guides. We paid for 5 people which was a waste of money and we lost 2 days of our holiday. I can’t comment on what the tour would be like in safer conditions. It was impossible to enjoy the falls as it was just too uncomfortably cold. If you are going to do this tour be sure to check the weather forecast before you go.

Very well organized trip from the beginning to the end. Our tour guide was very cooperative and gave us a lot of insight about the places we visited and also shared general historical details. Bus driver did a good job.
Niagara Falls view and maid of the mist boat ride was the best experiences. It was worth traveling all the way from NYC. Hotel was not bad, we stayed at comfort inn. It was very close to the falls area. Rooms are spacious as compared to hotel rooms in NYC. Breakfast was also good. Finally on the way back the shopping outlet stop was worth it. Overall an incredible trip of life time.
